Tauranga

We are interested in going to Hobbiton and to Rotorua area to see some geysers and geothermal places. Anyone has any experience of either?

Is it too much to do in a day?

Is it possible to get a tour that does both?

Are there tours available at the Port?

We are docked 8am - 6pm on a weekday.

check out www. Tours with Jim archer.com. He does a great tour for what you are looking for.... Very reasonable, too

Thanks. Have emailed them.

Kia ora,

To take in both is doable but would be very rushed. Rotorua is about an hours drive from the port with Matamata (Hobiton) being a further hours drive, plus of course the time to get back from the Hobiton set to Mount Maunganui (where the port is). Rotorua is so much more than a geo-thermal area so suggest you look up the two on web sites before deciding.

Aquarians

I've started doing some research for my cruise to NZ in 2017 on the emerald. We found a hobbiton and Rotorua shore tour for approx $240AU... Google shore trips and tours. The company operates out of Tauranga and has tours all over the country.
